BENCH AND BAR.

"Frank Wingard, who pleaded guilty |
last Saturday to burglary in the second
degree, for entering the room of j. Michael
son, in the Melville House, in December, |
was called for sentence in Judge Murphy
court yesterday. The court said that VIM
gard came of an excell. ut family aud had
received good education, hut it had been
lost upon him. as he lad vidently deter
mined to lead the lite o. a criminal. Not
of my own preference, said Wingard.
don't care anything about preferences,
said the court. your father was many
years ago client of mine, and an xcellent
man he was, and / hate 10 sentence you.
| 1t is your own fault, though, not mine. 1t
is ordered that you be sentenced to serve
| five years in tue State Prison at San Quen-

Judge Murphy was quite effected when
sentening this son. of an old client, las.
week.
Yes Danl you are generally effected under
these circumstances. We remember well
when you were a drunken "shyster, We
remember youth, (the son of another old
clinnt,) who many a time saved your
brains from being kicked out by horses
while you were lying drunk in the stalls
of his fathers stable. We remember when
that youth, having grown TO m nhood, being
adjudged guilty of felony by a jury, said
to be fixed by Johnny Wilson and yourself,
you played the crocodile, talked of your
old time acquaintance with his father and
| oontanoad him m fiva yaarS
4 We alao remember that in spite OF your
hypocritical assurances of sympathy for
your deceased elects son, you railroaded
him straight from the court without allow
1 ing him time to arrange his affairs, to a
place where he would still be rotting if the
matt, rested with you.
Say Dan do you remember your old
boosting, chum "Chicken +" Deyine the
water front thief who was hanged few
years bac X?
What platitudes you would have dealt out
had it fallen to your lot to sentence him.
How you would have drawn tears from
the ladies in the gallery by recalling the
sprees you had together, and the many
times you rolled III the gutter side by side,
and polluted the surrounding atmosphere
with the fumes of vile whiskey until morn
ing.

We notice with pleasuse that the Colored
Press is unanimously advocating the di-
vision of the Colored vote
The Colored people are beginning to real
ize these times that they are power and a
factor in the Nation, and the leaders of both
parties will find that to command the Col
ored vote, they will require to treat the
Race with greater respect, and bestow a
few of the Offices in their gift upon colored
men. This is lesson that our local hesds
of department, who owe much to the
colored vote, would do well to learn, for
with the exception of janitorship, they have
done absolutely nothing for the race, and
their fitness for better positions is as certain
as their right to fill them.
Senators also would do well (that is
those who can do it,, to prohibit their wives
from publicly sighting colored ladies,
whether they be queens, or the helpmatts

Truly hath it been said that :" the boy is

the little hero who was to hand in "the

of Miss Clark, the stern, unbending school
marin, the contemplation of prospective
licking being too much for him. Oh, how
like was this to the striking carmen. They,
it is true, carried out their intention, know
ing as they did that they were at liberty to
do SO without fear of an angry school marin
welding a strap over them. But why
should they crawl and cringe to 'sJim

to hang on sour apple tree and goodness
